Default Erm...Don't think it's supposed to look like that

Driving to work on Tuesday morning.

I get stuck behind a car doing about 20mph. I start cursing the slow @rse in front of me. Next thing I know the car feels like it's on a skidpan.

I steer into the skid and straighten the car. Hmmm...very weird.
It happens again so I pull over.

The back of the car looks like:



I get the car recovered to a garage. This has happened:





The replacement part is dealer/TPS only part and was stupid money + vat.

A quick call to A8 Parts and a replacement was on its way.

Could somebody please post the rear suspension diagram as it seems either something has either fallen to bits or fell off. There may be a spacer missing the mechanic is not sure. I also need the part numbers for the bolts if you have them.

I'm not happy it happened but glad it was at 20mph and not 70 as I might not have been posting this.

As always guys your help is appreciated.

A bit of a close call this one.
